The last programme in the series in which Alexander Walker recalls the screen careers of the cinema's brightest stars. Vivien Leigh
If Vivien Leigh had done nothing but play Blanche du Bois in A Streetcar Named
Desire, and Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind, her place in cinema history would be secure. It was an incredible achievement that an English girl with her stage background and no power base in Hollywood should make off with two of the greatest roles in American movies - and win Oscars for both performances.
